After a long week and a half of traveling, exercising and attempting to eat healthy, I am finally back to add another chapter to my blogging journey! I haven’t worked on my bracelets in over a week and I am writing this blog post in the hopes that the creative flow will jump back into my body.
Two weekends ago, I took my very first trip to Boston to visit friends of my boyfriend, Jason. It was AWESOME. Talk about a much needed get-away. That being said, it pretty much obliterated any shot there was of me moving to any state where the winters stay consistently below freezing. Another trip this past weekend to the midwest did not help those odds. I am still parked in front of a space heater wearing a sweater and uggs, trying to get my body temperature to return to normal. Here are a couple of pics from Boston!
Talk about a beautiful city! I would live there in a second if it weren’t for the sub-arctic temperatures.
Georgetown Cupcakes…. Chocolate Banana and Coconut. No further explanation needed. Thank God for a boyfriend who loves food as much as I do.
Last, but certainly not least, my sweet boyfriend, Jason and I enjoying some margs. Love him 🙂
While I LOVE to travel, I tend to over-indulge when I am in places that I have never been before, or don’t go often. Or when I go out to eat. Or when I drive past a bakery. Let’s just say, I like to eat delicious food, regardless of the nutrition label. So when I got back from Boston and my mom informed me that I had been volunteered (by her) to join her and my dad in a Biggest Loser contest, I was a little skeptical about the fact that they thought I needed to be included in this contest. I went along with it, because I was trying to be supportive of my parents and because I still have hopes that I can eclipse my middle sister for the title of favorite child. THEN, I weighed myself for the first time in months to get my starting point. I was a little more than slightly taken aback, and I have now flipped my competitive switch on and plan to beat the crap out of them. Forget being the supportive daughter. Sooo, I have been using my new favorite apps, Nike Training Club and Lose It, and I have had a successful week in spite of having a couple McDonalds runs on my second trip!
I am now adjusted to my new, healthy lifestyle and it is time to get back to being an artsy hipster. Stacking up a few bracelets has inspired me to string up some new styles today, so be on the look-out for NEW and exciting pics! Here are the neutrals I went with today. They were a pretty wicked (I picked up some Boston lingo) compliment to my tan sweater, if I do say so myself.
I’m now feeling creative and energized! Off to make some Smart-Pop and string up some BEautiful BEads!!!!! BEad happy readers 🙂
